Do you mean the TDC & Tube status?

If so, there are modelled 3d versions in the Control Room @ the WO station & also in the internal conning tower.

I hope you're not serious !

:hmm: Huh!

The 'Christmas Tree' is a dashboard of Red/Green light indicators which show the status of tubes doors etc.

So that when your diving, you know you have no holes in the boat.

Of course, the US fleet boats had them, not sure about the U-Boats.

Also, if the OP actually means a real Christmas Tree

Hang this over the head:

I beleive that in US subs, there was a bank of lights that showed that status of hull openings, it was called the "Christmas tree". Don't know if German subs had the same thing.

Darn! Danlisa beat me by a minute!!

Well, using the historically acurate portrail of U-571, they did.:rotfl:

Probably means they didn't.

Dunno.

When you pull into port, dont lull yourself into a false sense of security, your mines and subnets are just a petty challenge for my crew and I.
